How Doctors Are Using AI To Help Reverse Chronic Illness

Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI

Healthcare is catastrophically broken. We're spending $100K on preventable hospital visits while doctors get 12 minutes with patients, never read charts, and wonder why people don't "just take their meds." Type 2 diabetes patients sit at 10% control rates while the system shrugs. Dr. John Oberg took 50 patients with dangerously high A1Cs and got 49 into control in 12 weeks. Then he did it again with 79 patients, dropping them into healthy ranges and taking 30% off insulin entirely. His secret? Reading the chart. Treating humans like humans. Changing ice cream flavors instead of lecturing about...

How AI Can Help You Manage Your Grief

Most men don't grieve. We "handle it" with substances, work, or just shoving it down until we're emotionally dead inside. John Kammer tried that approach for years after losing three of his closest friends. For some reason it didn't work. So he built Guardian [AI]ngels (guardianaingels.ai), an AI tool that lets you have conversations with digital representations of people you've lost. Not Ouija board nonsense. Actual therapeutic conversations that help you process grief, find resolution, and maybe (finally) cry. In this episode, we cover: → Why traditional grief therapy failed for John (and...

Who controls the machines when AI gets superpowers?

We're living through the most significant technological shift in human history, and most people are arguing about all the wrong things. While culture warriors battle over Superman's immigration status, the real story is staring us in the face: the war for control of artificial intelligence. This isn't some distant sci-fi fantasy anymore – it's happening right now, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

The newest Superman movie accidentally became the perfect metaphor for our AI moment. You've got Lex Luthor commanding an army of machines like he's playing the world's most dangerous video game, while Superman fights back with his own AI companions. Sound familiar? That's because we're already living it. The question isn't whether humans and machines will merge – it's whether the good guys or the Lex Luthors of the world get to decide how it happens.

Listen now to discover how a comic book movie reveals the three critical choices we're making about AI right now that will determine whether technology saves humanity or enslaves it.
